hey everyone! i just had my first mushroom trip about 5 days ago, and it was AMAZING. i learned soooo much about EVERYTHING, it almost felt as if the mushroom was sorta "force-feeding" me information about life, the world, etc. but i was wondering if its possible to learn absolultely nothing from the mushroom? like some of my friends just sorta use it as a party drug and to get "fucked-up," but i can't really see mushrooms as something that wouldnt make you realize things about your life and so forth. what do you all think?

They are great teachers or great tools of realization. There hasn't been one trip where I've thought something clever or learned something life changing.

--------------------The best way to live
is to be like water
For water benefits all things
and goes against none of them
It provides for all people
and even cleanses those places
a man is loath to go
In this way it is just like Tao ~Daodejing

i really haev never had any revalations about life but for me it is about me being in touch with my mind. see what it can do. i nevr get alot of thoughts on mushies but i see so much that alone opens my mind to so much stuff. there is never a day i have not thought about tripping or of my past trips. it has changed my life too

To help with remembering what you learn I have always carried a small steno notebook that fits in my back pocket. You will be amazed at the complexity of your thought process and the amazing revelations you may find.

There are a lot of factors that could cause other people to just use it as a party drug, for instance "peer preasure" could keep someone from sharing their experiences because the are afraid of looking "stupid" or "weird" by having an enlightening experience from mushrooms. To me, this is complete foolishness, and to do this is to be unjust to one's self. For some reason, a lot of people believe that having no effect from drugs is "cool".I don't understand this logic and never will. To use something this sacred to just get "fucked up" is like a christian using the Bible to level out a table.

Quote:some people go to great lengths to make sure they're distracted from themselves during a trip.

thats so weird. i remember when i tripped, if i caught myself looking at cool visuals, id almost automatically ask myself "hey..why am i wasting my high looking at the visuals when im thinking about all this CRAZY shit?!"

I'm constantly thinking about weird life stuff.... having 'revelations of ideas' about new things every day, so sometimes when I trip I just like to enjoy the trip and get a brake from all the deep thinking.
